  1. Nice Nate Congrats. I did 50 miles or so myself.
  2. Sometimes people are so embarrassed by their stupidity that it comes off that they're not thankful or sometimes their just pricks
  3. Great news Scott I spent yesterday morning in a meeting I'm not really sure I should have been in from a contractual point of view. Here's hoping if things go south I don't get held up for a slapping around.
  4. Happy B-day!
  5. This is the second set of these I have owned. The first ones were a couple generations old and at least 10x slower in the exact same installation but in an older arrangement they suited my purposes for 2/3 years. My experience has been nothing but great with the technology. The ones I just bought add some nice encryption features (so some dude can't use an exterior plug and get on your network), light control (so you can turn off the indicator lights if they are bugging you), and diagnostic software that let you learn interesting things through trial and error like the fact that phone chargers mess with the signal. Luckily not enough to limit my bandwidth for internet (still get 85/75Mbps vs 100+ with the phone chargers unplugged). All in all I highly recommend them, far superior to my attempts to use wireless repeaters to cover the whole house.
  6. Ouch that sucks.
  7. Negear 500+Mbps (bs spec) powerline adapters. Well I bought them yesterday but they arrived today and I'm getting 100+Mbps across my house, much faster than wireless. Awesome.
  8. not that I'm as experienced but mentioning macro the 105mm Nikon is an incredible lens. Also the 18-55 Nikon kit lens is a good one in many people's opinions though it feels like a toy.
  9. Awesome trip Al. Have a great time!
  10. Yeah I'll admit we're really lucky. The impending baby pushed us over the edge on getting it so that we could have a fun weekend place an hour and a half or less away to take him instead of just hanging around at the house all the time (vacations other than weekends are difficult). We'll see if it was a good decision but at least the prices were (relatively) very reasonable. Good call on the Roubaix
  11. Win! Congrats on the goal and the purchase! I just made a offer on a place south of here (Mayberry Mid-Atlantic?) and if I am successful we'll have to have an east coast meet with bikes and headphones
  12. Grilled chicken with bbq sauce for dinner. No pics though. Darn.
  13. Great news Nate!!!
  14. Maybe, Maybe not. Is the adjustment screw in too far? Is your cable too tight? (Sorry if you already checked those). Deraileurs usually only break if the spring goes or someone rips them off.
  15. Thanks for the congratulations. I thought it was public knowledge at this point.
  16. Moved my desktop, drobo and everything else computer related up to our loft in preparation for the office becoming a nursery
  17. Yeah they were about the same price from Amazon so I decide that the separate screen was a no brainer though it does not measure as much as the kill a watt.
  18. This thing is neat. My computer costs me $85 a year to run
  19. Good luck with the recovery and I'm glad the procedure went smoothly. Me: I just booked to have my chimney's swept and have a cap installed on my false chimney that has started to have a small plant grow out of it... here's hoping this costs less than $500
  20. Belkin Conserve Insight F7C005q Energy-Use Monitor Time to figure out how much my Slimserver is drawing from the wall. I had set it to do wake on lan but I'm having issues with that from some locations so I'm thinking of having it sit on all the time.
  21. Thank you. I don't really deserve it in cycling specific way but it's a beautiful bike and I do work hard
  22. Thanks Mike
  23. I'm sorry but I'm out of the loop. What's the "Capitol"? I've gone to their website and I can't find it.
